The Smnnah Daily Hirtld. Message- -- -^-=- tmUiwdav, #t*w« la, is#9. FROM OUR EVENING EDITION OF YESTERDAY. AMERICAN AFFAIRS IN EUROPE. Possible Compile aliens «Ub England or France. Now that tbe furious storm of war Las passed over our own country, and our na tional affairs at borne are being rapidly tran quilizcd, our relations with foreign lands as sume anew and powerful Interest. It is not saying too much to assert that just at present America stands in a very delicate position with regard to France and England, and that still other nations are eagerly watching the movements and utterancesof our leaders and statesmen relative to affairs which nearly concern all. There has never, for many years, been any lack of hot-headed politicians who have not only been willing to see us embroiled in a serious quarrel with England, but who have ever striven with nil tjielr powers to bring oh a forcible collision. Indeed, t it Ims been seriously asserted that tbe quickest and surest way to thoroughly re-unite tbe North and the South would be to At once inaugurate a war with England, and so cement the union of the two great divisions oi our own couulry with the blood of a nation which was once the common foe of both. it is reasoned, and with some show of sound sense, that of the immense disbanded armies both of the South and the North, a very large proportion are seasoned veterans who have not only become accustomed to the rigors of camp and field, but have be come so enamored of a soldier’s life and its fierce excitement a3 to be loth to leave it, aud that the Government in order to provide tor these men must supply them with the work they have learned to love so well. We ourselves think it more than likely that the grim veterans of the South and the North would join hands with greater alacrity, knowing they were soon to stand shoulder to shoulder lu the ranks of battle against a foreign foe, than they ever will to stand side by side in the toils of farm and plantation, or the ruder labors ot the forest und the river. In the event of a war with England, every Irishman iu the land, who could carry a musket would volunteer, aud thousands of stalwart sons of the Emerald Isle would, for the first time, leave their homes in the beau tiful “Gem of the Sea, ” and streum across the Ocean. Eager to enlist in a war where every blow would be struck at the heart of their old and heretofore victorious enemy, every man would do bis best to avenge the alleged wrongs which, for so many years, Ireland has suffered at the hands of England. And this element iu our strength would be a myjfity one, for the memory of past conflicts would nerve the arms of the men of either Island aud give to such a strug gle between the Saxon and the Celt,, a vin dictive bitterness that is seldom found in even the fiercest and most unrelenting wars. If cause for opening hostilities should be sought it would be quickly tound. The North has bitter reason of complaint against Eng land for the aid and comtort given the tebel lion during the time when the Union array was the weaker of the two, and every can non and musket, every ton of gunpowder, every sabre and saddle sent from England to the South would be remembered. Tbe facilities afforded speculators for blockade mnuing; the many sius of the port of Nas sau ; the lilting out of privateers to burn our shipping; the shelter afforded the St. Albaus raiders by tbe English courts; the immense subscriptions to the Confederate .Loan, are but a few items ia4li<? ldbg account scored up against England by tbe North, each one of which would require the fullest payment. The South would call her to account for her persistent refusal to recognize her as an independent nation; for the slights of late put upou the Confederate Commissioners; lor her refusal to permit the powerful steam rams to go to sea In the interest of the Con federate cause ; for permitting the Con - federate loan to decline and full at a time when, more even than at any pre vious day, they needed every dollar; and these are but a few of the alleged grievan ces of the South. It would seem to be difficult for a so-called neutral nation to so conduct itself to ward two contending powers a9 to provoke the bitter hatred of both, but, with a curious ingenuity, England has in this instance certuinly suc ceeded in thoroughly mastering that para doxical problem. France has been les3 active in her sympa thies with either belligerent than England, but even the cautious Napoleon ill cannot much longer maintain his judicious reticence. He must soon declaie some sort of policy with regard to American affairs, and all who have watched his calculating selfish ness know that he will never side with a vanquished faction, and that whatever may be the line of policy he will mark out, the will find in it little of comfort for the past or hope for the future. The French operations in Mexico will now attiaitfiom the North that attention which could net earlier be given, and what between the jealousy all our countrymen ftel ofany life*' Mv*jW of In* Icrfrretice In AtEett&i on tbe otic baiid, and £be certainty bff the other, that the Emperor will not regard with Avery complacent eye the large enlistments,-ddw said to be going on in our cities, of men to operate against the French in Mexico, there will certainly be little love lost. Though there will be doubtless many poli ticians and restless ambitious men, who will do their worst to embroil us in a foreign war, we believe that the exhibition made to tbe world of the mighty strength and immense resources of America, will cause auy nation to wait long and ponder ‘seriously before engaging us single-handed. We have in the strength and valor of our tremendous armies, in tbe fighting abilities of our enormous iron-clad' navies, aud in tbe perfection and power of all our enginefy of battle, good assurance that no war will be recklessly undertaken against America by any but a most powerful alli ance of tbe leading nations of tbe earth. But should insolence be attempted, a fight would not long be postponed by any distrust of our ability to hold our own. or by any reluctance on our part to try the “hazard of the die.” In case of such a serious quarrel, which may the God of Peace avert, Americans, North and South, would, we feel sure, witli a pride founded on the w'cll demonstrated valor of battles such as the world never be fore heard of, be found nobly fighting togeth er for the honor and prosperity of the com mon nation. The Street Commissioner—His Duties and the Duties of the Citizens Upon the military occupation of any city or town, or the establishment of a military post by a well regulated army, one of the first matters to be attended to is the eftmuliness of the post and the establishment of a good police for the benefit of all. When the city of Sav annah was occupied by the United States troops, Capt. Albert Stearns was appointed Street Commissioner, aud tbe present clean liness of our streets, lanes, etc.,’are sufficient testimony of what the labors of this officer and his assistants have effected. The city of New Orleans, which, for years was known as a “death hole,” from the pre valence of “yellow jack,” became under strict ordinances comparatively healtby. Savannah, in 18. r >4, and subsequently, was visited with fearful ravages of yellow fever, tbe danger of which scourge is now materi ally lessened, it is to be hoped. Capt. Stearns, when appointed Street Com missoner, believed it his duty to appoint none but citizens of respectability to fill the offi ces of his Department. By his careful selec tions, good men were secured, who have at heart the welfare of their fellow citizens, equally with that of the Government, and they are discharging their duties ably and faithfully, as we learn. In the docket of the Second Provost Court for the last two days have appeared the names of many persons who have Violated the Orders of the Street Department. Fines, were inflicted in some instances, and in others parties were excused on the plea that they had properly instructed their servants in re gard to garbage. In the future, as Judge Rundlet of the Se cond Provost Court has stated, should any like offences occur, he will fine the parties heavily. The Government intends to have the sanitary and police regulations thorough ly carried into effect, and every good citizen should iu every possible way sustain this policy. The Gardens on Lovers Lane.—Yester day afternoon a visit was made by one of our reporters to the Market Gardens, situated on Lovers Lane. The crops are in a tine healthy condition, and the yield of water melons, musk melons, green corn, okra, tomatoes, etc., will be large. One of the most success ful horticulturists Is Mr. F. Broadbacker, whose farm is on the south side of Lovers Lane. The crops of Mr. B. are in excellent order; his fields clear of grass, and every thing Indicates care and industry. Mr. Broad backer is assisted by Mr. J. Maupas, who, for years, planted a farm on the White Bluff' Road. Mr. Broadbacker has the thanks of the Herald for the first musk melon of the season. The farm ot Mr. Nicholas Geil, on the east side of Lovers Lane, is also iu ex cellent order. On Saturday next our market will be supplied with water melons and musk melons. Goino North.— Two-thirds ot the vessels of the South Atlantic Squadron, have al ready been sent North. The 1 touclad Nan tucket, the Gunboats Norwich and Wiasa hickon, and the huge topedo boat for run ning the blockade with cotton, are to follow suit Immediately. The “South Atlantic” will be a “squadron of tugs.” Billiards. —We are indebted to the en terprising firm of O'Meara & Cos., over the Express office, for a copy of Michael Phe lan’s Mauual of the Game of Billurds—fifth edition, and also for a copy of the Illustra ted Haud Book of Billiards, by Phelan and Berger. Departure of Troops for Gkoroetown, S. C—This morning the 15th Maine Volun teers, Col. Dyer, five hundred strong depart ed on the steamer Loyalist for Georgetown, South Carolina. The Steamship Araoo, Capt. Gadsden, arrived at Hilton Head this morning, with New York dates Is> the 10th. !fl Otiftfleeletj, Wedaetday, which pars ed rtwlatlone ie fitter nf eUtcadfffg the right of suffrage to the colored people, nod appointed a Provisional Committee to take such action as may be neces sary to “secure the reorganization of tbe State Government on the basis of Liberty, Loyalty, and Equality.” This we learn from a private letter from a trustworthy source; The Charleston papeis make no mention of it. Naval.— The steam sloop Pawnee is now lying at Charleston, waiting to take Admiral Dahlgren and Staff to Washington. It is ex pected that the Admiral will return to Wash ington, about the 20th mst. > The steam launch, commanded by Mate Jacob Hemp, was lost in a gale in Fripp’s lulet, on Monday, while on tbe passage from Charleston to Port Royal. Annual Session of the Tgeographical Union. —The annual session of the Typogra phical Union commenced at Philadelphia on tbe sth inst. A large number of delegates were present. A spirited and ebate took place on the right of ex-delegates to seats in the Convention, which was decided in the negative—yeas, 18; nays, 97. Messrs. Maude A Wrioht, Commission Merchants, of Augusta, have a card in our paper, to which we call attention. The firm is a reliable one, and business men will find it advantageous to Lave a connection with it. It will be seen that good references are given. Departure of a Waqon Train for Augusta. —On Tuesday Messrs. O’Donnell & Scran ton’s wagon train loaded with goods for the Augusta and interior markets, left this city for Augusta. The train will return in eight days laden with domestics, etc. Anew evening paper is to be started in Chicago by Joseph Medill, late of the Tri bune. New Order* Concerning Prisoners and Exchanged Soldiers. The Washington Chronicle of the Gth inst., gives the following information in regard to new and important orders : Important to Released Prisoners.— The War Department is said to have issued an order directing the Quartermaster s De partment to furnish all prisoners of war and citizen prisoners, who have been or may be released from confinement by reason of tak ing tbe oath of allegiance to the United States, with transportation to their homes, or to the nearest points thereto, winch may it be practicable to reach by the usual routes of water aud railroad transportation Release of Prisoners of War.— Tbe Pres ident will issue, in a day or two, an order for the release of all prisoners of war below the rank of major, who subscribe to the oath of allegiance to tbe United States Government. Commissioned otficers wiii be required by the order to enter into bonds to tbe sum of two thousand dollars for the faithful observ ance of tbe oath. Discharged Sailors and Marines to he Preferred.— By order of the Secretary of the Navy, in employment at the navy-yards and naval stations, preference is to be given to those honorably discharged from the navy and marine corps, especially those wounded or disabled. Muster-out Rolls and Discharges. —One hundred and fifty thousand of these have been furnished to the War Department by the Government Printing Office. Scarcity of Employment in New Orleans. The Picayune says-: “There are probably thousands of persons now in the city, with whom tire single question is “What 'shall I do ?” It is not a matter of choice but of ne cessity. What is to be done with the surplus idle population is an important question to all, as doubtless all cannot find employment in the city, and the resources of many have been sadly diminished by causes beyond their control. The best thing is for each one to do some thing ; to begin with the day of small things, and to light the lamps of economy and indus try. To many work is anew thing; but the hard lesson must be learned. The now un filled fields of the West and South may yet afford happy homes to those who are home less, but willing to toil, to labor and to wait. Tennessee.— -The colored people of Ten nessee have petitioned the Legislature for the privilege of voting, giving as an argument m behalf oi their request their unswerving devotion to the Union, in every capacity and under-all circumstances, throughout the ter rible struggle of the rebellion. They also iustance the fact that more than tw o hun dred thousand colored men are now in the ranks of the Union army, and urge that if they can be trusted with the bayonet, surely it wrilbe safe to tru9tthem with the ballot. A convention of the colored people of Ten nessee, to advance their claims to the elective franchise aud for other purposes, is called to be held in Nashville on the 7th of August next. The Popular Loln.—The subscriptions of June sth to the Seven.thirty loan in all parts of the Union, as telegraphed to Jay, Cooke & Cos., amounted to $1,013,250. The largest Western subscriptions were SIOO,OOO from the Fourth National Bank of Pittsburgh, and $50,000 from the First Na tional Bank of Altoona, Pennsylvania. The largest Eastern subscriptions were $15,000 from Vermilye & Or., New York and $50,000 from the Mechanics’ and Tra ders’ Bank, of Portsmouth, N. H., and SSO - 000 from the First National Bank of Portland, Maine. w Jne number of individual subscriptions for sums less than one hundred dollars \yas seven hundred aud nine. The Great Northwestern Fair. —The first week ot the Northwestern Sanitary Fair at Chicago closed satisfactorily to ali parties. The attendance has been large every day and night. Thousands are present from other cities, and more are coming every week. The receipts are over one hundred thou sand dollars. Every department is doing well. nviWHfrPunt, if ***<*♦ Ga., 3m if#, Please prrthit tflfe, through yotif ebltiihfis to say td my former subscribers in your city that, as soon as satisfactory arrangements can be made, after the restoration of inqil facili ties, the publication of the Christiau Index and Child’s Index will be resumed. Respectfully, S. Boykin, Editor. Precocious Piety. — A Michigan lawyer tells the ioliowing story, “Several years ago I was practicing law 'in one of the many beautiful towns in Wisconsin. One very warm day, while seated iu my office at work, I was interrupted by tbe entrance of a boy,’ the son of one of my clients, who had walked into tow r u six miles, in a blazing sun, for the purpose of procuring a Bible. 'He batl been told, be said, that there was a place where they gave them away to the people who had no money, he said that he had no money, and said lie w’as very anxious to get one ol the books, and asked me to go with him to the place where they were kept.— Anxious to encourage him in bis early piety, I left the brief on w’hich I was engaged and vyent with him over to the stand of a Presbyte rian deacon who had the much coveted books iu charge. I introduced him to the deacon, telling him the circumstances. He praised the boy very highly, was delighted to see young men so catty seeking after the truth, etc., and presented him with the best bound Bible in his collection. Bubby put it in his pocket, and was starting off, when the deacon said : ‘Now my son, that you possess what you desired, I suppose you feel happy ?’ *W ell, I do, old boss: for between you and me, I know where I can trade it for a plaguev gdod fiddle !” Charcoal. —A fruit grower says, in one of our old contemporaries, that he found “cliar coal placed aiound the roots of the diseased peach stock was serviceable. He immediate ly removed the soil from around the trunk of a sickly tree in his garden, supplied its place with charcoal, aud was surprised at its sud den renovation and subsequent rapidity of growth, and the tenacity with which the fruit held on the branches, and the unusual richness of its fruits when matured.” A correspondent of the Cultivator at Mo bile writes: “Pears do very well here. Pine charcoal is being burned on a large scale in my neighborhood, for city consumption, I find that the dirt from the coal beds is excellent for them.” About tbe roots of tbe apple trees, if applied, it is thought not only to promote the general health ol the tree, but to keep away the very troublesome wooly aphis which infests them, and forms on them* very injurious congeries of warty lumps. Charcoal dust is also valuable to mix with manure heaps, and with the contents of pri vies, removing all offensive smell, and great ly increasing the value as well as the bulk of enriching substances. —Southern Cultivator. Sure Signs of Peace. —The Quartermaster General’s office is issuing elaborate orders for the government of otficers of that department in settling up tlieir affairs on a peace basis The government will have several millions’ worth of supplies on hand. Gen. Banks Ordered Home.— A despatch to the Boston Transcript says: Gen. Banks is ordered to report at Waltham, Mass. His affairs are undergoing investigation at the War Department. Flies.— An old lady, who has watched the signs of the times for seventy-nine summers, says house flies will be more numerous this summer than they have been tor nineteen years. The Lincoln Monument.— Tbe benefit at Ford's Theatre, Baltimore, on Saturday, June 3d. for the Lincoln Monument Associa tion, yielded eleven hundred dollars. Mayor Gunther has vetoed the resolu tion of the Common Council of New Y'oik authorizing twenty-five thousand copies of! the eulogy on President Lincoln to be i printed. The Union Leagues in California hftve started movements for the erection-of a monument to Mr. Lincoln on the Pacific coast, at a Co3t ot a quarter of a million of dollars. James S. Gardner, a lively youth of seventy-six winters, and Phebe A. Rose, a fine old lady of thirteen summers, were mar ried at North Kingston, Rhode Island, on Thursday. The notorious Dr. Tumblety, lately arrest ed on suspicion of being concerned in the Blackburn yellow fever plot, has been re leased, no cause being found for holding him in longer confiement. —Mrs. Extra Billy Smith is accused of ap propriating to her private use the spoons and other silver belonging to the gubernatorial mansion at Richmond, and the property of the State of Virginia —Joseph Smith, son of old Joseph and a leading Mormon, is taking issue against Brig ham Young on the wife question. Smith says only one wife at a time is better than sixty or seventy. —ln Rochester the citizens subscribed for 400,000 tons of coal, to be purchased on their own account, and the dealers thereupon re duced their price from sls to SB-40. —lt is said that Dick Taylor, escaped from his'cell in Libby Prison through the neglect of Capt.
